OSTHUS PRESENTATION #PLA2019

FAIR Data, Data Catalogs and the Foundations of AI

Abstract

This talk will inform participants of what FAIR data is and why this framework gaining traction across the pharma industry. 

We will discuss how FAIR data principles are being applied to help build Data Catalogs, where data is much easier to find, access and integrate across large organizations.

Next, we will show how advanced statistical methods can be applied to this framework in order to provide advanced analytics and ultimately AI-like capabilities.  I will provide specific use case examples from current work that OSTHUS is performing in this area.
